If things like the signing key file are missing, let's just try to generate
them on startup.
Again, this is useful for k8s-like deployments where we just want to generate
keys on the first run.
* Improved section regarding server admin
Added steps describing how to elevate an existing user to administrator by manipulating a `postgres` database.

This RC reintroduces support for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in a future release. ([\#13406](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13406))

Synapse 1.64.0rc2 (2022-07-29)
==============================
This RC reintroduces support for `account_threepid_delegates.email`, which was removed in 1.64.0rc1. It remains deprecated and will be removed altogether in a future release. ([\#13406](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13406))
Previously, TLS could only be used with STARTTLS.
Add a new option `force_tls`, where TLS is used from the start.
Implicit TLS is recommended over STARTLS,
see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8314Fixes#8046.

* Admin API request explanation improved
Pointed out, that the Admin API is not accessible by default from any remote computer, but only from the PC `matrix-synapse` is running on.
Added a full, working example, making sure to include the cURL flag `-X`, which needs to be prepended to `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` etc. and listing the full query string including protocol, IP address and port.
* Admin API request explanation improved
* Apply suggestions from code review
Update changelog. Reword prose.

* Drop support for delegating email validation
Delegating email validation to an IS is insecure (since it allows the owner of
the IS to do a password reset on your HS), and has long been deprecated. It
will now cause a config error at startup.
* Update unit test which checks for email verification
Give it an `email` config instead of a threepid delegate
* Remove unused method `requestEmailToken`
* Simplify config handling for email verification
Rather than an enum and a boolean, all we need here is a single bool, which
says whether we are or are not doing email verification.
* update docs
* changelog
* upgrade.md: fix typo
* update version number
this will be in 1.64, not 1.63
* update version number
this one too
* Update worker docs to remove group endpoints.
* Removes an unused parameter to `ApplicationService`.
* Break dependency between media repo and groups.
* Avoid copying `m.room.related_groups` state events during room upgrades.
==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.
See [the upgrade notes](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md#upgrading-to-v1600)
for more details.
Features
--------
- Add an option allowing users to use their password to reauthenticate for privileged actions even though password login is disabled. ([\#12883](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12883))
Bugfixes
--------
- Explicitly close `ijson` coroutines once we are done with them, instead of leaving the garbage collector to close them. ([\#12875](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12875))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Improve URL previews by not including the content of media tags in the generated description. ([\#12887](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12887))

Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
* Add mau_appservice_trial_days
* Add a test
* Tweaks
* changelog
* Ensure we sync after the delay
* Fix types
* Add config statement
* Fix test
* Reinstate logging that got removed
* Fix feature name
* `m.login.jwt`, which was never specced and has been deprecated
since Synapse 1.16.0. (`org.matrix.login.jwt` can be used instead.)
* `uk.half-shot.msc2778.login.application_service`, which was
stabilized as part of the Matrix spec v1.2 release.
This was originally added when we first added a `MemoryHandler` to the default
log config back in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8040, to ensure
that we didn't explode with an infinite loop if there was an error formatting
the logs.
Since then, we made additional improvements to logging which make this
workaround redundant. In particular:
* we no longer attempt to log un-UTF8-decodable byte sequences, which were the
most likely cause of an error in the first place.
* https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8268 ensures that in the unlikely
case that there *is* an error, it won't cause an infinite loop.
Switching to a sequence means there's no need to track `last_txn` on the
AS state table to generate new TXN IDs. This also means that there is
no longer contention between the AS scheduler and AS handler on updates
to the `application_services_state` table, which will prevent serialization
errors during the complete AS txn transaction.
* Formally type the UserProfile in user searches
* export UserProfile in synapse.module_api
* Update docs

* Rewrites the demo documentation to be clearer, accurate, and moves it to our documentation tree.
* Improvements to the demo scripts:
* `clean.sh` now runs `stop.sh` first to avoid zombie processes.
* Uses more modern Synapse configuration (and removes some obsolete configuration).
* Consistently use the HTTP ports for server name, etc.
* Remove the `demo/etc` directory and place everything into the `demo/808x` directories.
* Two scripts are basically entry_points already
* Move and rename scripts/* to synapse/_scripts/*.py
* Delete sync_room_to_group.pl
* Expose entry points in setup.py
* Update linter script and config
* Fixup scripts & docs mentioning scripts that moved

...and various code supporting it.
The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.
Part of the Tchap Synapse mainlining.
This allows modules to implement extra logic to figure out whether a given 3PID can be added to the local homeserver. In the Tchap use case, this will allow a Synapse module to interface with the custom endpoint /internal_info.
